"We spend most of our lives in buildings. We make our homes in them. We go to school in them. We work in them. But why and
how did people start making buildings? How did they learn to make them stronger, bigger, and more comfortable? Why did they
start to decorate them in different ways? From the pyramid erected so that an Egyptian pharaoh would last forever to the dramatic,
machine-like Pompidou Center designed by two young architects, Patrick Dillon's stories of remarkable buildings--and the remarkable
people who made them--celebrate the ingenuity of human creation. Stephen Biesty's extraordinarily detailed illustrations take
us inside famous buildings throughout history and demonstrate just how these marvelous structures fit together."--Publisher's
